As a dad of two teenage girls, I spend a lot of time thinking about how to keep my daughters safe and provide them with what they need to lead healthy, happy lives. But even despite my care and concern, our family had its own close call when one of my daughters narrowly avoided being abducted at the age of 12 while walking in the neighborhood with her cousin.

Thankfully our daughter escaped, but not all children are so fortunate. Many don’t have concerned guardians to help keep them safe. Some are taken against their will and sold. Many others are abused early in life and then drawn into exploitation through a variety of devious methods. I’ve been concerned about these issues for years, but always felt powerless to do anything about it…until I discovered Reclaim13.

I recently joined the organization as an educational volunteer. Our team reaches out to communities and individuals with life changing information and resources about how to keep children from being drawn into exploitation in the first place. Reclaim13’s staff, volunteers, and sponsors are a vibrant and growing group of individuals, all committed to ending the cycle of abuse and exploitation forever. With God’s leading, we are already making a huge difference.
